The ceremony will be held on May 16 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, and broadcast on Prime Video.

But “Country Music’s Party of the Year” isn’t just a single night. It will take place over several days and will include an all-star concert headlined by nominee Parker McCollum.

“Frisco, Texas and The Star District proved to be the perfect new home for the evolution of this Emmy-nominated ‘Party,’ bringing music’s biggest global superstars to the passionate and loyal Texas Country Music fans!” ACM CEO Damon Whiteside said in a news release.

“We’re thrilled to bring ACM Awards week to life again at the home of America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys, along with our best-in-class partners at Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, Dick Clark Productions and our Executive Producer, Raj Kapoor, to make this year’s show even bigger and better. Fans will certainly want to be there in person to experience all the incredible moments we have in store, and we can’t wait to see everyone in Texas!”

Luke Combs leads the pack, with eight nominations this year for his version of Tracy Champan’s 1988 hit, “Fast Car,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

He shares the nomination with Chapman in the song of the year category. He is also up for entertainer of the year, among other categories.
